KICA Student Day at the Capitol and Kansas Private College Week

On Tuesday, February 10, the Kansas Independent College Association hosted its annual Student Day at the Capitol. Students who attend KICA member colleges and universities were invited to participate. Attendees learned more about what happens "under the Copper Dome" and had the opportunity to thank state leaders for their commitment to higher education.

Students also had the opportunity to:

Share personal stories of success and the value of a private higher education

Interact with state senators and representatives

Take a tour of the Capitol

In conjunction with this event, Governor Sam Brownback designated Kansas Private College Week: February 9-15, 2015. The event recognized the important contributions of the private colleges and universities to the state of Kansas.
